Murmurations is my first published collection of my own poetry and more is in the pipeline. This collection stretches back over many decades, going back to my early writing years, and gathers pace particularly during the lockdown years of 2020 to 2022. It explores a wide range of topics relevant to both young and old, and in a variety of styles – as is, perhaps, best illustrated by the poems I have included on this page.
While I have sought to maintain an element of overall balance, there is no avoiding the effects or the experience of ageing, or the marked changes that have occurred in our social and political landscape over the years since I started writing. None the less, I attempt, where possible, to hang on to my sense of humour, even with even a touch of plain silliness along the way.
